To all whom it may-concern:

. Be it known that I, PERRY A. MoOAsKEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Alliance, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Manifoldin Bill Pads orBooks; and I do declare the fo lowing to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to manifolding ads or books and it has referenceparticular y to manifolding pads'of bill blanks or slips that aredesigned to be used in credit-accounting systems, the resentinventiomhavlng been .divided out o the application filed February 13,1907, Serial No. 357,180.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved manifolding pad orbook includin improved forms and arrangement of the bi blanks to the endthat bills may be made up expeditiouslyin triplicate and that a cleancopy of the bill may be furnished to the customer, While at the sametime enabling the merchant to use bill blanks with carbon on their backsfor transferring purposes, a further object of the invention being toprovide a manifolding pad hav ng bill blanks so arranged as to permit ofbemg rapidly and attractively printed and assembled for bindingpurppses.

With the above-mentioned and minor objects in view, the inventionconsists in a manifolding bill pad constructed and arranged in animproved manner as hereinafter particularly described and referred to inthe accompanying claims. I

Referring to the drawings Figure 1 1s a perspective view of one of theimproved pads with portions of a set of the blll blanks se arated andturned up at corners thereof; ig. 2, a perspective view of a sheet ofbill blanks showing the manner of folding the sheet, the fronts'of theblanks being exposed to view;

a erspective view of the sheet as when bein fo ded, showing the backs ofthe bill bla Fig. 4, a plan view of the sheet con taining a set ofbillblanks unfolded, the fronts of two blanks andthe back of one blank beingexposed to view; and, Fig. 5, is a plan view of the sheet of blanksshowing the reverse side thereof, the front of one blank and thecarbonized backs of the other two blanks being shown.

Similar reference characters in the various figures of the drawingsdesignate like parts or features of the invention.

A pad or book ma contain any suitable number of sets of bill blanks,there being three blanks comprised in each set. Each set of threeblanks, when ready to be bound in the pad or book is comprised of asingle sheet of pa er adapted to be folded and bound togetlier as a padA on a back board B, which preferably has laps C and D at the bindingend of the ad, and staples E are preferably emplo ed whereby the stubsF, with which each s eet is provided, are bound together on theback-board. A bill blank G is connected to the stub F of a sheet at theweakened line G, the blank having a suitable printed headin H on oneside thereof near the weakened ine, such side being intended to bewritten upon, and having suitable bill ruling I, including a footingline J on the face thereof, the line J being at or near the foot end ofthe blank. A bill blank K is connected to the blank G at a weakened lineK, and it has a head H, the'ruling I and footing line J on the op ositeside of the sheet from that on which tlie heading is printed on theblank G, the back or reverse side of the blank K usually having anadvertisement L thereon, this blank. being designed to be given to thecustomer. A third bill blank M is connected to the blank K at a weakenedline M, and it has a head H and ruling I J on the same side of the sheetthat the heading and ruling of the blank G is on. The back of the blankG has a coatin of carbon N thereon, and the back of the b ank M has acoating of carbon 0 thereon. The sheet is folded before being bound, onthe lines K and M with the front face of the blank M under the carbon Nof the blank G, the extremity P of the sheet being brought to the lineK, and thus the front face of the blank K will be under and next to thecarbon 0 of the blank M, so that the headings of all of the bill blankswill be adjacent to the stub F, and the bill rulings on the blankstherefor will be n register, the bill blanks being all equal in size.

In practical use a suitable stop card will be placed beneath the billblank K of a set and then the bill may be made up on the top or faceside of the blll blank G, thewriting 0 erations producing transfer coies of the bi on the upper or face sides of t e bill blanks M and K. Thebills on the blanks M and K may then be detached at the broken lines Kand M, and the clean bill should be given to the customer while theother one may be.

filed for future reference, and the third co y or the original on thebill blank G may be etached from the stub F and used for auditingpurposes, or it maybe left in the pad .attached to its stub temporarilyand'detached at some suitable time.

i one end portion of 'the sheet with the heading thereof towards the oposite end of the sheet, and the other blank laeing on the opposite endportion of the sheet, the sheet havmg weakened lines above thefirst-mentioned blank and also aboveand below the second mentionedblank, and .a stub connected to thesecond mentioned blank at theweakened line that is at the top thereof, said sheet having on thereverse side on the middle portion thereof a bill heading and ruling toform a bill blank, and transfer substance on the end portions thereof,the heading bein adjacent to said first mentiOne'd weakened ine.

stub, a bill section connected-at one! end thereof to the stub at theweakened line and having a weakened line at the opposite end thereof,the section having on one side thereof a bill heading and ruling and onthe other side thereof a coating-of transfer substance, the headingbeing adjacent to the weakened line of the stub,-a second bill sectionconneoted 'at one end thereof to the first-men tioned section at theweakened line thereof and having a weakened line at the o posite endthereof, said second bill section aving on the side thereof that isreverse to the side that has the first-mentioned bill heading and rulingalso a bill heading and ruling, the heading being adj a'oentto theweakened line that is at said 0 posite end of said second section, and athird bill section connected at one end thereof to said second sectionat the In testimony whereof, I affix my signature in resence of twowitnesses, on the 27th day of ay, 1907. 5
